Honda Cars India has started customer deliveries of the updated 2026 Elevate across its dealerships in India. Launched at an introductory ex-showroom price of ₹11.80 lakh, the facelift brings revised exterior styling, additional comfort features and updated safety equipment. It continues to compete in the midsize SUV segment against models such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara.
Fresh Exterior Styling and New Nordic Forest Shade
The 2026 Honda Elevate facelift features a few exterior updates. At the front, it gets a redesigned grille, all-LED headlights, integrated daytime running lights (DRLs) and front parking sensors.
At the rear, a connected LED light bar across the boot lid gives the SUV an updated look. The side profile features newly styled 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels.
Buyers can choose from a range of exterior colours, including single-tone options and selected dual-tone combinations with a contrasting black roof. The new Nordic Forest Pearl shade joins existing options such as Obsidian Blue Pearl, Radiant Red Metallic, Platinum White Pearl, Lunar Silver Metallic, Meteoroid Grey Metallic and Crystal Black Pearl.
Cabin Upgrades: Rear Ventilated Seats and Added Features

The front seats also offer power adjustment, with availability depending on the variant.
Other key cabin and safety features include:
Infotainment: A 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless smartphone connectivity.

Engine, Gearbox and Price
The updated Elevate continues with the familiar 1.5-litre naturally aspirated i-VTEC petrol engine, producing 119 bhp and 145 Nm of torque. Buyers can choose between a six-speed manual gearbox and a CVT automatic transmission. Honda has not introduced a hybrid or turbo-petrol option with this facelift.
The variant range includes SV, V, VX, ZX and ZX+, along with the ZX+ Black edition. Prices start at ₹11.80 lakh for the SV manual (ex-showroom).
With deliveries now underway, buyers can visit authorised Honda dealerships to check variant availability, colour options and waiting periods. The facelift brings useful equipment upgrades to the Elevate, while its engine and core mechanical package remain unchanged.
